If it's sleeping you can set the scheduled task to wake the computer and run the command by checking off that option in the Conditions tab of the shutdown task you created. <strong>Example:</strong> After you've created the shutdown task, edit the task by opening Task Scheduler, find and open the shutdown task you've created, select the Conditions tab in the shutdown task, and then check off Wake the computer to run this task. If your computer is hibernating it has already shut down.

As you open Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools to reveal the "Task Scheduler" program link, right click it with your mouse and from the sub-menu that pops up, click "Run as administrator". That should fix it! This is very easy to overcome.
